Divided in two heads and parted into three arms, The great City shall be troubled with Waters, Some great ones among them scattered by banishment, By a _Persian_ head _Byzance_ shall be sore oppressed. ANNOT. This Prophecy containeth three things, the first is an Inundation by which _Paris_ is threatened, for without doubt he meaneth here that City, at the head of which the River _Seine_ is divided in two heads, and makes an Island where the Cathedral Church and the Palace are situated, and then parted into three branches, one of which runneth by the Church of the _Augustines_, the other by the _Quay_ of _la Megisserie_, and the third passeth under the great Hospital; this City then is threatned here of an Inundation, to which it is very subject, by reason of the lowness of her situation, and the confluence of several Rivers that meet at the head of it. The second part of the Prophecy hinteth that at that time, some great ones of that City shall be banished; and the third, that _Constantinople_, which was anciently called _Byzantium_; or rather the great Turk by a figure of Rhetorick, called _Synecdoche_, shall be much oppressed by the _Persians_. LXXXVII. French. L’An que _Saturne_ hors de servage, Au franc terroir sera d’eau inondé, De sang _Troien_ sera son mariage, Et sera seur d’_Espagnols_ circondé. English. In the year that _Saturn_ out of slavery, In the free Countrey shall be drowned by water, With _Troian_ blood his marriage shall be, And for certain he shall be hedged about with _Spaniards_. ANNOT. By _Troian_ blood is understood the _French_ Nation, the meaning therefore is, that in the year that a great Inundation shall be in _France_, then shall a notable marriage be made, by which the _French_ shall be hedged about, or fenced by _Spaniards_. LXXXVIII. French. Sur le Sablon par un hideux Deluge, Des autres Mers trouvé Monstre Marin, Proche de lieu sera fait un refuge, Tenant _Savone_ esclave de _Turin_. English. Upon the sand through an hideous Deluge Of other Seas, shall be found a Sea Monster, Near to that place shall be made a Sanctuary, Which shall make _Savone_ a slave to _Turin_. ANNOT. When by the overflowing of the Neighbouring Seas, a Sea Monster shall be cast upon the Sand, near to that Place shall be built a Fort, that shall make _Savona_ a slave to _Turin_. _Savona_ is a Town by the Sea side, belonging to the _Genoese_, _Turin_ is the chief City of _Piemont_, belonging to the Duke of _Savoy_. LXXXIX. French. Dedans _Hongrie_ par _Boheme_, _Navarre_, Et par Banieres feintes seditious, Par fleurs de Lis paix portant la barre, Contre _Orleans_ fera esmotions. English. In _Hungaria_, through _Bohemia_ and _Navarre_, And by banners fained seditions, Through flower de Luce the Countrey that wears the Bar, Against _Orleans_ shall make commotions. ANNOT.
